Friends, Haven't you any fish? 

Early in the morning,

Jesus stood on the shore,

but disciples did not realize

that it was Jesus.

 Jesus called out to them,

"Friends, Haven't you any fish?"

“No” they answered.

He said "Throw your net

on the right side of the boat

and you will find some."

when they did, they were unable

to haul the net in because of

the large number of fish.

John 21:4-6

     ♪ Today's scripture to mutter with

                             thanks and love



Recently by the lakeshore of Galilee 

at dawn, John chapter 21 

I spent a few nights running in tears.

Resurrected Jesus, came to meet 

his disciples and Peter's deep wounds 

who disowned and cursed him

before the cross of Jesus, 

where disciples returned to their

original job of fishing not knowing

how to live.  

Until dawn the able fishers caught no fish; 

they were confused, chilly and hungry

with no earning.

Life for the last 3 years with Jesus

seemed like a dream to them.

Their real life was like this.      

At dawn, Jesus asked

"Friends,  Haven't you any fish?"

"Nothing."

"Throw your net on the right side of

the boat and you will find some."

What happened afterwards?

John realized he was Jesus so 

told it to Peter . . . 

On the lakeshore at that dawn  

there was a fire of burning coal

on it fish and bread hot, and

a large number of large fish were

caught ...

The disciples' immediate needs

were all provided at the best. 

"Come. Have breakfast." 

The purpose of Jesus' coming to

the world to serve, continued. 

The completion of Jesus' plan of 

dream to redeem the mankind

through his beloved disciples 

had not been changed,

only his anticipation grew.   

Peter's deep wound that 

no one could heal Jesus healed:

In the process of his healing

no one can not be unhealed,

neither wounds.  

Jesus makes Peter to confess 

by asking that he loves

his Lord three times to have

confidence himself.

Jesus removed his weakness of

comparison as well.

And he confirms that surely

Peter is his head disciple as always:

Complete my desire, 

he commanded his greatest desire

to carry on.

Feed my lamb, 

Tender my sheep, 

Feed my sheep.    

Resurrected Jesus who came

to meet his disciples on

the lakeshore at dawn prepared

Peter to lead his disciples to 

welcome coming the Holy Spirit

on the Pentecost in order to complete

the redemption of mankind.

For Jesus healed the wound 

made him healthy and gave a new 

mission to Peter. 

We are immeasurably secure 

by your such being and 

glory to you forever and ever.     

Praise the Lord!
